After a few years in use. We have seen Cisco 871 and 851 routers that would hang if you had a single download that was more than 100M large. It is intermittent. Sometimes the problem goes away, sometimes it happens on very small downloads (just a 10KB web page). It seems that the just about all the downloads eventually finish, but the bigger the download the longer the hang.
Is there a way to resolve this? (short of router replacement which is what we have been doing)
We are revisiting this on a Cisco 851 that is one year and two months old. At this point, similar hangs seem to be occurring, at a much less important scale. In this case, the customer has purchased a 30Mbps up/down internet connection, and they are only able to get 5Mbps/20Mbps up/down. At times, download speed is reduced to 5Mbps.
I will attempt what has already been suggested below next time I am out there (hopefully next week) and edit in my findings.
I an ACL on Vlan1 and on the Fa4. I also have a few ACLs that were replaced and are not used. The ACLs are about 45 lines and about half the lines are remarks. I have posted the config below. Personal information is masked with words such as WAN IP or hostname HIDDEN
If you have suggestions such as performance improvements for the configuration code, or information such as whether I can expect 30Mbps on an 851, that would be appreciated.

% Password expiration warning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cisco Configuration Professional (Cisco CP) is installed on this device
and it provides the default username "cisco" for one-time use. If you have
already used the username "cisco" to login to the router and your IOS image
supports the "one-time" user option, then this username has already expired.
You will not be able to login to the router with this username after you exit
this session.
It is strongly suggested that you create a new username with a privilege level
of 15 using the following command.
username <myuser> privilege 15 secret 0 <mypassword>
Replace <myuser> and <mypassword> with the username and password you
want to use.
